Preparation

1. Prior to installation, examine all boxes and packages for shipping damage and compare the piece

count with your packing slip. After opening all boxes and packages read this introduction carefully.

Check that all of the needed parts are included in the package by checking off the components on

the “Detailed Diagram of Shower Door Components”. If the unit has been damaged, has a finishing

defect, or has missing parts, please contact our customer support department within 3 business

days of the delivery date. Please note that DreamLine

will not replace any damaged products

or missing parts free of charge after 3 business days or if the product has been installed.

Contact DreamLine

if you have any questions, and please provide an order number, job name or

other proof of purchase to help to identify the original order.

2. Please note that you should consult your local building codes with questions on installation

compliance standards. Building and plumbing codes may vary by location, and DreamLine

not responsible for code compliance standards for your project and will not accept any

returns.

3. If this unit is going to be installed in a new construction, please install all of the required plumbing

and drainage before installing the shower. Use a competent and licensed (if required by local code)

plumber for all plumbing installation

4. Please make sure that prior to beginning the installation, the surfaces are leveled and solid and

will be able to support the total weight of the unit. Also make sure the walls are at right angles.

Irregular installation surface level, radius corners or improper angle of side walls will result in serious

problems for your installation. Please, note that some adjustments and drilling might be necessary

during the installation process.

5. Please protect all primary surfaces of the product during installation. Never set your glass down

directly onto a tile floor. Leave corner protectors in place until necessary to remove them. Always

use a piece of wood or cardboard to protect the bottom edge and corners of the glass prior to and

during installation.

6. This unit must be installed upon a finished threshold and against finished walls.

7. This model has 4” of total width adjustment: including 1/2” of adjustment per wall profile for

out-of-plumb wall conditions plus 3” of overall width adjustment with the expanding top and

bottom rails. Be sure that you have ordered the correct model size to fit your finished opening.

8. This model requires a minimum 1-3/8” of flat threshold space for installation.

9. Professional installation recommended.

NOTE: This door is reversible for right or left-hand door installation. See step #4 for details.

The right-hand door installation is shown as an example throughout this manual.

NOTE: DO NOT install the handle onto the door glass until instructed to do so.

DO NOT attempt to lift the glass using the handle. This could result in damage to

the glass and/or serious personal injury. Always use an assistant or a professional

grade glass suction cup when handling heavy glass.

Product Maintenance

BASES and BACKWALLS: To ensure long-lasting life for your acrylic back walls, wipe them off

after each use with a soft cloth. To clean the acrylic back walls use non-abrasive sprays or cream

based cleaners. Avoid the use of aerosol spray cleaners. Never use abrasive cleansers, metal

brushes or scrapers that could scratch or dull the surface.

GLASS: To ensure long-lasting life for your glass shower products, wipe them off after each use

with a soft cloth. Rinse and wipe off the glass using either a soft cloth or a squeegee to prevent

soap buildup and water spots (Hard water can etch the surface of the glass over time if left to

dry). To prevent scratching the surface: never use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products that

contain scouring agents. Never use bristle brushes or abrasive sponges that may scratch the

surface.

HARDWARE: To ensure a long-lasting finish, wipe off the metal parts after each use with a soft

cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products containing ammonia, bleach or acid. If

accidentally used, rinse the surface as soon as possible to prevent damage to the finish (peeling

or corrosion). After cleaning the polished finishes, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with soft cloth.

Clean stainless steel surfaces at least once a week. When applying stainless steel cleaner or

polish to stainless steel hardware, work with (not across) the grain. Never use an abrasive

sponge or cloth, steel wool or wired brush as these may permanently scratch the surfaces.

NOTE: To maximize the life of your door, it is important to regularly inspect

the glass and all hardware for misalignment, proper attachment, and/or

damage. Contact DreamLine

with any questions or concerns.

DreamLine

shower doors and enclosures are designed not to leak when

installed properly and the flow of water is not pointed directly at the pivots

or vinyl seals.
